COMMUNITY MOVEMENT SESSIONS
|
I’m going to offer a Zoom space twice a week (for now). Once in the morning and once at night and I’m inviting YOU!
Do you want to do some yoga? Do you want to strength train? Do you want to go for a walk with us on your phone? Do you want to sit outside and tell us about all the birds you’re noticing? Do you have physical therapy you need to do? (I do). I’ll be doing my own thing and you’ll be doing yours. It will be a free place where we can all support each other in whatever goals with movement we might have. It will also be a place where you can talk and share as much or as little as you feel like. |

Topic: Combating diet culture during the holidays (dealing with comments from family)
Date: TBD. Holiday time of 2024
Our culture has made it very difficult for everyone, but especially women, femmes and AFAB folks, to be okay with our bodies as they are. We are constantly being told that we must change this and shrink that in order to even think about fitting in. We're also told that a lot of this is for our own good, for our health. Frankly, a lot of this is BS. What you have been taught is through the lens of diet culture and capitalism. There are other ways. Ways that take into consideration your mental health as well. Ways based in current science and research. You don't have to shrink your body. You can eat in a way that honors your internal signals instead of the latest diet or "lifestyle change". Your health isn't dependent on your body size either.
Because of this, it may be very difficult to "love your body as it is". A place to start might be to set a truce with your body. Body neutrality instead of body love might be a goal that sounds more attainable. You only have one body in this lifetime, learning to work with it instead of against it may just give you the confidence and FREEDOM you have been looking for.
Maybe you have set that truce or are very early in that journey and you'll be with others over the holidays who haven't gotten the memo. Let's chat about ways to deflect and to "fight" back so you can keep your sanity this holiday season.
Join us to chat about Health At Every Size, joyful (ample) movement and making peace with your body. You've been doing the same thing for so long, maybe it's time to do things differently. Even if you have been doing work to make peace with your body for a while, I've found having a community to talk about body image issues, struggles and successes to be life changing.
